NEW SONG - Showdown - Discussion

[$lmjimy311]

This song is fucking terrible. God I wish they would just end already. All of you are just sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!





j.k, I haven't listened to it. I'm just saving Nate from having to post what he inevitably was going to.

Side note, in regards to people that aren't able to accept new 311, my man Jay-Z said it best,

"N****s want my old shit
Buy my old albums"

The more I think about it. FoE is awesome. Nick always sounds like he's just talking his words in a note instead of belting it out or actually singing...so its always like....not as much passion or vocal presence...still love these jams...i think I'm going to work on a cover of FoE and perhaps Showdown...I'll see what I come up with. The first version will be all acoustic tho, so...haha, we'll see

[FrixHex311]

This song is amazing! Awesome tempo changes throughout. Vintage 311 mixed with new. SA's rap takes awhile to get used to but it fits. This album looks to be a compete JAM. And best in 10 years or so

[Alvarez311]

for sure, I get that feel...it's going to be well received...cannot wait....better not be any haters on here bashing every little thing with 'well they shoulda....derrr well I gotta dey cudda...' etc. Happens every album, and to some degree I can see those points....but I think this time around....you let 311 n' Ralston put this out with no BS.....it's gonna be solid....just accept what it is and rock the F out....and enjoy. 3114L

Been holding back on my opinion. Initially I wanted to critique the fuck out of them, but after repeat listens of this and 5oE I really am excited for some new 3-1-1.

The music is great and enjoyable. The lyrics are chock full of cheese though. With that said, I like it more than Five of Everything.

[EvenField2BeOn]

They don't contain the cheese level of dtom-uplifter though thankfully.

[Freeze Time]

I love the lyrics to showdown its a sporting anthem

[pnutwannabe]

This is true, though it's pretty damn cheesy. If the music wasn't as good as it is I probably wouldn't like it as much because of the lyrics.

I could see Clay Guida walking out to this song in UFC

[Smoke]

I'm just glad they've recorded new songs that I can play for other people without having to answer questions on why I like this band.

Hahahaha yea. I didnt even bother with universal pulse.

[Alexnova]

^ how old are you guys? My tastes have vastly changed than when I was a teen listening to 311.

The outro is the only interesting part of this song.

And not a 11-10 track album finally a surprise.

[Shiny]

they should have held off on the lead guitar coming back in at 1:16 and instead waited until the 2:24 part... I think that would've had a better effect. otherwise, this is a nice risky song and i like it

[Tehshewz]

Transistor 2.0?

I really really like this song.

[Alvarez311]

The feel I get so far from the clips and 5oE and SD are it's very FromChaos/Uplifter. Which is an interesting combo....take the cheese out of Uplifter and its a cool catchy album....I dig all the vocal effects on From Chaos....I really hope they implement this more....so much cooler of a sound than just normal voices, etc.

It's gona be its own....it'll be Stereolithic....

[Rude_Boy]

I like it but just like 5oE it feels disjointed.
